Animal rights group takes on fast food chicken giant KFC

ANIMAL rights activists are to target the world’s most popular chicken restaurant chain in their latest campaign against unethical treatment of animals.

PETA, (People For Ethical Treatment of Animals), is to take on KFC (Kentucky Fried Chicken), claiming to have hard evidence of abusive animal treatment by KFC suppliers.

PETA said it had attempted to negotiate with KFC parent group Yum! Brands in the US for 21 months prior to today’s campaign launch, but that the company had failed to eliminate the worst animal abuses.
